Wow is the word I would use to describe today, after all the meetings and phone calls to get everything in place for next week. I'm going to enjoy tonight and start planning while I still have the time. I need to plan things out it helps me get by better. Kate and Jose had already texted me that they've made it to the club and have a table waiting. It was after eight and I was leaving work, I'm glad I thought to bring my clothes with me so I was ready for a few shots. Walking out the doors tonight feels a lot different, my dreams are coming true, I have great friends around who support me. My mom who is sometimes around, she's a serial bride so I don't expect much from her however she manages to send me elaborate gifts and sometimes money. I don't spend any of the money so I have a hefty nest if I ever have to live off of it. Before I could make it to my car I got a text from a number I didn't recognize.
UNKNOWN: Get some rest this weekend Ana. Relax and don't stress leave that for next week. –Christian
I couldn't believe he was texting me, we didn't even exchange numbers but he is the boss. What could I say to that? I'm going out tonight to celebrate and nothing was stopping me I feel too good. I hope he has a sense of humor because I was just going to be myself.
Ana: I plan on relaxing and planning for my upcoming week. Tonight I'm going to celebrate and enjoy myself. Thank you again for this opportunity, if you need anything else please let me know. –Ana
I can't believe I'm texting my boss, but hey if that's how they do it in the big leagues I'm more than willing to play. The smile on my face was even bigger now that I know Christian is thinking of me. Putting my tote in the back seat I get in and start the car, tonight is my night.
Seeing her walk out the building tonight in that dress, it hugged all of her curves and showed off a lot of leg. The sight of her sends a rush of heat through my body. I have to have her, I didn't even want to imagine the attention she was going to get tonight, no other man is going to touch her again. She's mine, it was final. I couldn't let it go on after being in that room and looking into those beautiful eyes of hers. She actually had the nerve to hold my gaze, I can't wait to get to know her better. I'm going to need a change of clothes.

Entering the club and hearing my favorite song play feels great. I spot Kate, Jose and Jalisa at our table, I squeeze myself between the bodies and make my way across the room. I hugged everyone and ordered a double shot when the bartender came over. Kate told me how proud of me she is and tonight is about me. After another double shot I was ready to dance, Jose asked if he could come along and why not. I tried to keep distance between us as he starts to get closer. I need to go to the restroom after a round of songs, I excuse myself and head to the line. Taking my phone out to check the time it was just after eleven, I couldn't help but to go to my messages and look at what Christian sent me. Feeling bold as ever I couldn't help but wonder what he was up to on a Friday night we never saw him out with a woman on his arm or in pictures.
ANA: Is texting employees and being available twenty four seven part of the job?
Before I lost my nerve I hit send, why did I do that I couldn't help myself. What will I do if he ever responds? Maybe he's asleep and I won't have to worry about anything and by the morning I will have a great excuse. As I closed the door to the stall my phone sounded for incoming text. My heart started to beat a little faster, well it was all or nothing I could do this. I opened my messages.
Christian: I hope you aren't enjoying yourself too much Anastasia. Doing things you may regret in the morning.
Ana: Mr. Grey I would never do anything that would get me in any trouble, I don't do things I will regret. I am ready for anything that may come my way. Sorry I bothered you, goodnight.
My phone sounded again but I ignored it this time, I can't believe I'm starting this project on a note like this I thing I've had enough drink for tonight. After everyone brought a few more rounds of shots, I felt like I was on cloud nine. I ignored my phone and washed my hands, as I walked out in rang. "Hello" there was no sound, "Hello" I looked down at the screen it was from Christian "Hello Christian" "Ana, where are you?" Oh no what have I done now he probably thinks I can't handle myself.
"I'm sorry I bothered you Mr. Grey, I had a question and thought I was ask, I apologize and look forward to working with you this week, goodnight."
"I'm coming for you" then there was dead air. Well that was weird let me go outside to get some fresh air so I can continue my celebration. I stopped by the table to let them all know, then I made my way out. As soon as I stepped to the side of the entrance, Jose came out.
"Ana I'm so happy for you and hopefully now there's nothing standing in the way of our feelings for each other."
"Wait what Jose, No you've read the signals wrong I don't feel that way" he put his finger to my lips to keep me from talking.
"Ana its ok I know you understand how I feel about you just give me a kiss."
"No Jose stop it's not like that" I try to push him away but he keeps coming.
"Jose I said stop you're drunk I don't want you to regret this in the morning." I pushed again, this time he actually moved well flew into the building with his hands up, but I don't think I did that. I turned to look and there was Christian. Oh my doesn't he look handsome in his collared shirt and jeans with a blazer.
"Christian what a surprise how did you find me?" I was so full of butterflies and alcohol I don't know if I could handle the excitement tonight.
"Anastasia are you ok?" he asked as he grabbed my face in both of his hands and looks me in my eyes. I hear myself respond a little bit huskier than I would have liked, I assured him I was fine and just needed some air, then my stomach did flips and I had to run to the bushes. I felt hands pull my hair back and rub my back in soothing patterns.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Christian, this night gets better then it gets worse. I can assure you this is not my normal behavior and you won't have to worry about this. He smiled as he gave me his handkerchief. And pushed my hair behind my shoulders.
"It's not your fault Ana, but I won't tolerate that kind of behavior from him again do you understand. I hope besides that tonight has been good for you, I think we should get you home you've had enough fun for tonight." He began walking me to the curb to a vehicle that looks familiar I know I've seen it somewhere recently. I remembered Kate and Jalisa were inside.
"I can't Kate and Jalisa are inside, I can't just leave without saying anything. Can we go Back in first?" he grabbed my hand and walked back to our table. Jalisa was nowhere in sight but Kate was just to the side of our table dancing with some hot guy and they were closer than close. I wonder who that was, Christian must have read the look on my face because he answered for me.
"That's my brother Elliot, he was with me when you texted me, I'm staying at Escala while I'm here." He looked down at me then my dress and pulled me to the dance floor. To say Christian can dance would be an understatement, this man could move. Well he wasn't the only one, I had a thing or two up my sleeve. I begin to move my hips to the beat of the song, relishing in his hands on my hips, his chest against my back. I turned to the front to get a better view and my view it was. He was looking at me with pure lust, he bent down and I through he was going to kiss me so I held my breath, instead he bent to my ear.
"Your face is very expressional Anastasia, I can tell what you're thinking and I'm positive you're not ready for what I'm prepared to give you. I love your eyes, their like the window to your soul and they call to me like no one before."
All I could do was stand there and let what he said sink in. I couldn't help the smile that came across my face. So he did feel the same way, then my smile fell I couldn't have a sexual relationship with my boss. I had to ring in my lust or I would be making some very bad decisions tonight. Before I could say anything he pulled me from the dance floor and out of the front door. I was going to say something but he stopped me with a finger to my lips same as Jose.
"Before you say this is a bad idea and we shouldn't be doing this, just know that I don't usually act this way. We can talk about this later, but we really need to get you back so you can freshen up and rest." The last thing I remember was soft leather and eyes that held me in place.
